I agree Mark, in fact I would go so far as to say that a
*spectrophotometer* (Color Munki/EyeOne Pro/Monitor but NOT Display)
is likely the better choice going forward than a colorimeter. With a
spectro you never have to worry about the correct filter tuning for a
specific displayas you do with a colorimeter and it seems logical to
me that if you're profiling your display with the same instrument that
you're profiling your printing system, you're liable to have a better
chance of having good print to display matching. Seems logical, just
not sure if that's a fact. As far as colorimeters being a bit better
(smoother) in the deep shadows compared to a spectro, I haven't had
this problem since using DDC hardware calibration with my EyeOne Pro,
Eizo CG221 and ColorEyes Display Pro. I think the 10-12bit monitor
LUTs make a significant difference over 8bit(?) video card LUTs.

that to properly profile the newer wide-gamut displays one needs a
more up-dated and capable colorimeter than what many of us may have
been using in the past. I don't own it or need it, but one such
example a technically knowledgeable vendor mentioned to me is the
Spyder 3. From what I've seen there's no question that the gamut of
the x900 Epson printers for example, using media such as Gold Fibre
Silk, produces a gamut which can poke significantly beyond our
display gamuts, depending on the hue.

Of course, it depends.....but I wouldn't even say that GENERALLY a
monitor has a larger gamut than an inkjet printer as I've seen many
of my own inkjet examples exceed AdobeRGB(1998) in most areas while
I've yet to see a monitor profile fill that same space, even the
supposedly "AdobeRGB" displays.
